BEST TOMATO SOUP EVER



Best Tomato Soup Ever image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium white or yellow onion
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
One 46-ounce bottle or can tomato juice
3 to 6 tablespoons sugar
1 or 2 tablespoons chicken base, or 3 chicken bouillon cubes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sherry, optional
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To begin, dice the onion. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Throw in the onion and cook until translucent.
  • Now dump in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the tomato juice.
  • Next - and this is important - in order to combat the acidity of the tomatoes add 3 to 6 tablespoons of sugar. Now, you'll want to start on the low side, then taste and add more as needed. Some tomatoes and juice have more of an acidic bite than others. (For what it's worth, and I realize it's not worth much, I use 6 tablespoons of sugar.)
  • Next, add 1 or 2 tablespoons chicken base to the pot. I added 3, and it wound up being a little too much.
  • Now you can add lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine, then heat almost to a boil. Then turn off the heat.
  • Add in the sherry if desired. Stir in the cream. Add the basil and parsley and stir.
  • Serve the soup warm!

CHILLED WATERMELON SOUP



Chilled Watermelon Soup image

This simple, refreshing gazpacho-like chilled soup depends on the sweetness of the watermelon, tempered by the addition of olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and salt, to create the perfect balance of flavors. A little spiciness in the form of cayenne or crushed red pepper is welcome, too, as is an extra squeeze of lime juice at the table.

Tomato and watermelon are an unexpected match, their respective acidity and sweetness mingling to great effect. This soup, adapted from Anya von Bremzen's book "The New Spanish Table," integrates the melon into a bare-bones gazpacho, one of the sovereigns of the high summer table. There are so few ingredients here that the ones you use will really stand out, so try to get the freshest, juiciest tomatoes and sweetest watermelon you can. The chopped celery brings the flavor combination together, so don't leave it out.

Tips:

- To enhance the flavor of your soup, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. You can also roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup for a deeper, more intense flavor. Tomatoes with various colors (yellow, green, orange) can be used to make a vibrant soup. - Use seedless watermelon to make the blending process easier and to avoid a grainy texture in the soup. - For a more aromatic soup, use fresh herbs like basil, mint, or cilantro. Add them just before serving to preserve their delicate flavor. - Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes or chili powder to your desired level of spiciness. - Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing summer appetizer or lunch. - For a more substantial meal, pair the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, a fresh salad, or a crusty bread.

Conclusion:

The combination of juicy tomatoes, sweet watermelon, and aromatic herbs creates a delightful symphony of flavors in this refreshing soup. With its vibrant color and tangy taste, this soup is sure to impress your guests and make a memorable addition to your summer menu. Whether served chilled as an appetizer or enjoyed at room temperature as a light lunch, this tomato watermelon soup is a culinary delight that captures the essence of summertime goodness.
